Located alongside the Manawatū River Pathway, there’s so much to do and enjoy in the green heart of the city. With the added bonus of the Esplanade Scenic Railway, picnic spots, a café, playgrounds, a paddling pool, and the world class Central Energy Trust Wildbase Recovery Centre you’ll find hours of fun for the whole family.
